The Drew Pavlou Democratic Alliance (DPDA), also known as simply the Democratic Alliance, was an Australian political party founded in 2021.[11] The party was registered with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 28 February 2022.[13]

The party's policies included promoting a pro-Taiwan foreign policy, protecting human rights, establishing a federal anti-corruption agency, building a green economy, and supporting workplace democracy.[10]

The DPDA ran in the 2022 Australian federal election but failed to win a seat. The party's candidates received 2,215 first preference votes for the House of Representatives nationally, 4,555 first preference votes for the Senate in Queensland (representing 0.15% of total votes cast) and 1,011 first preference votes for the Senate in South Australia (representing 0.09% of total votes cast).[14][15][16]

The party was voluntarily deregistered on 6 November 2023.[17][18]
